Like the landscapes they explore, these poems are shaped by wind, tide, and human history. Oak trees surrender to the sea; a river is forced beneath city streets.
Running through the collection is a quest for rootedness in a dislocated world. Without a given destination, a pilgrim wanders the Tramuntana mountains of Mallorca, the ancient woodlands of Sussex, and the battered coast of County Down. There is no shrine. He puts his trust instead in close attention to the world as it is found, and to what history and myth reveal, as he turns to face the west wind -- elemental harbinger of rain and change.
